AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fire Opal – Lightning Ridge, Australia
Hailing from the prestigious Lightning Ridge area, this fire opal displays an exceptional play of color, with flashes of green, blue, and gold that emerge with intensity under light. The stone retains part of its natural form, showing the original texture of the deposit and reinforcing its authenticity.
Origin: Lightning Ridge, Australia
Type: Fire opal (precious opal)
Status: Partially rough, with polished areas that reveal a vivid and deep shine
Color palette: Predominance of electric greens and intense blues, with warm tones in motion.
Visual appeal: Excellent color contrast and sharpness, visible even in soft lighting conditions.
Ideal piece for collectors, lapidaries, or opal lovers who seek a specimen with character, recognized provenance, and a vibrant play of color.
- Origin: Lightning Ridge
- Color: Multicolor
- Measurements: 31mm 18mm 14mm
- Weight: 32.50 ct
According to the ancient Dreamtime stories, the spirits of the Australian land dropped fragments of light onto the desert as they walked among thunderstorms. This Lightning Ridge opal seems to preserve that same origin: a flash captured between rock and time.
Its color palette — intense greens, deep blues, and golden glints — recalls the sacred fires that, according to tradition, guided night travelers. The surface, partially rough, preserves the imprint of its birth, as if it still held the pulse of the earth that created it.
Origin: Lightning Ridge, Australia
Type: Fire opal
Condition: Partially unfinished, with areas that reveal a vivid shine.
Color palette: Vibrant tones that evoke lightning and desert auroras.
Visual appeal: Strong contrast and excellent color visibility
Ideal piece for collectors who are looking not only for a gem, but for a fragment of myth—a spark of the ancient light that, according to legend, shaped the world.
To behold its chromatic fire in action, watch the short: there the dominant red reveals its dance under direct light.
